Airbus introduces the A350F - A large widebody freighter to shape the future of airfreight with the capability to transport a cargo of some 111 tonnes, around 64 vehicles.
Nose to tail innovation
Based on the top-selling clean-sheet design A350, the A350F leverages all the benefits of the A350 to help large widebody freight operators make a clean start towards a more sustainable and profitable future.
The A350 Family benefits from cutting-edge aerodynamics, optimised from nose-to-tail and wingtip-to-wingtip, and A350F brings latest-generation efficiency and choice to the large freighter market.
The A350F is lighter than competitors thanks to its composite airframe, the structure uses over 70% advanced materials such as composites, titanium and modern aluminium alloys to create a lighter and more cost-efficient aircraft, while increasing resistance to corrosion and reducing maintenance requirements.
Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions
With advanced aerodynamics and equipped with Trent XWB engines, the aircraft offers unbeatable efficiency in terms of fuel burn, CO² emissions and economics and is the only freighter capable of meeting the future ICAO requirements.
The A350F’s advanced technology enables a step change of up to 40% better economic and fuel efficiency versus older generation freighters.
The A350F is also perfectly poised to replace older generation freighters in terms of volume, range and payload.
Moreover, thanks to Airbus family concept it can be seamlessly integrated into airline Airbus fleets, benefiting from the same type rating as the A350 and common type rating with the A330 family.
